E. E. Weir, A.M.. Ph.D.. Philosophy Edward E. Weir was born in Kentucky in 1854. He graduated from Cumberland University-, taking- the degrees of A.B., A.M., and Ph.D. After graduation he taught history and mathematics at Branham High School, Hopkinsville, Ky., and later was principal of Huntington High School. In 1880 he was called to the chair of Philosophy in Cumberland University, which position he now holds. He is also secretary of the college faculty. Dr. Weir is the founder of the College for Young Ladies, situated in Lebanon, which has done so much to bless the young womanhood of the South. Although he has not been principal of the school during all the twenty years of its life, yet it owes its standing as a school to him. His courses in philosophy have always been very popular, especially among those students preparing themselves for theological work. During the past few years Dr. Weir has made original research in the study known as the New Psycholog} ' , and is fitting up a new library and laboratory for that department. R. W. Keeton, A.B., Assistant in Biology Robert W. Keeton hails from the State of Mississippi. After four year ' s hard work in Webb ' s School Mr. Keeton entered Cumberland University, where he has prosecuted his studies for three years. His vacations are spent m the University of Chicago, where he is making special study in the subjects of botany and zoology. Mr. Keeton has been teaching natural sciences in the Lebanon College for Young Ladies, where his work has proved him eminently fitted for the posi- tion. His classes are the largest in that institution. The new life in athletics which Cumberland University is feeling of late is due in a large extent to the great interest taken by Mr. Keeton since his connection with the school.
